11、 is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2009. Attention is drawn to the possib
12、ility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12350-6:1999. The results of a recent laboratory inter-comparison, part-funded by the EC u
13、nder the Measurement and Testing programme, contract MAT1-CT94-0043mtp, have been taken into account. The compaction of specimens using hand tamping, vibrating table, or internal (poker) vibrator are accepted as equivalent. However, the use of an internal vibrator to compact specimens containing ent
14、rained air should be carried out with caution. A procedure for calibrating the container has been included as a normative Annex A. This series EN 12350 includes the following parts.

22、 12350-1, Testing fresh concrete Part 1: Sampling 3 Principle Fresh concrete is compacted into a rigid and watertight container of known volume and mass and is then weighed. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Container, watertight, of sufficient rigidity to retain its shape, made of metal not readily attacked by cemen
23、t paste, having a smooth internal face, with the rim machined to a plane surface. The rim and base shall be parallel. The smallest dimension of the container shall be at least four times the maximum nominal size of the coarse aggregate in the concrete, but shall be not less than 150 mm. The volume o
24、f the container shall be not less than 5 l. 4.2 Filling frame, filling may be simplified by using a filling frame fitted tightly to the container 4.3 Means of compacting the concrete, which may be one of the following: a) internal (poker) vibrator with a minimum frequency of approximately 120 Hz (7
25、200 cycles per minute), the diameter of the internal vibrator not exceeding approximately one-quarter of the smallest dimension of the container; b) vibrating table with a minimum frequency of approximately 40 Hz (2 400 cycles per minute); c) compacting rod of circular cross-section, straight, made
26、of steel, having a diameter of approximately 16 mm, length of approximately 600 mm and with rounded ends; d) compacting bar, straight, made of steel having a square cross-section of approximately 25 mm 25 mm and length of approximately 380 mm. BS EN 12350-6:2009EN 12350-6:2009 (E) 6 4.4 Balance or s
27、cales, capable of determining the mass of the compacted concrete to an accuracy of 0,01 kg 4.5 Straight-edged scraper, made of steel, not less than 100 mm greater in length than the maximum internal dimension of the top of the container 4.6 Scoop, of approximately 100 mm width 4.7 Steel trowel or fl
28、oat 4.8 Remixing container, flat tray of rigid construction and made from a non- absorbent material not readily attacked by cement paste. It shall be of appropriate dimensions such that the concrete can be thoroughly re-mixed, using the square-mouthed shovel. 4.9 Shovel, with square mouth NOTE The s
29、quare mouth is required to ensure proper mixing of material on the remixing container. 4.10 Mallet, soft faced 5 Sampling The sample shall be obtained in accordance with EN 12350-1. The sample shall be re-mixed using the remixing container and the square mouthed shovel or equivalent remixing procedu
30、re specified in the national annex NA before carrying out the test. 6 Procedure 6.1 Calibration Calibrate the container in accordance with Annex A, to obtain the volume of the container (V). 6.2 Mass of container Weigh the container to determine its mass (m1) and record the value indicated. 6.3 Fill
31、ing the container Depending on the consistence of the concrete and the method of compaction, the container shall be filled in two or more layers to achieve full compaction, except in the case of self-compacting concrete for which the container shall be filled in one operation. If a filling frame is
32、used, the amount of concrete used to fill the mould shall be such that a layer of concrete remains in the filling frame after compaction. The thickness of this layer shall be 10 % to 20 % of the height of the container. BS EN 12350-6:2009EN 12350-6:2009 (E) 7 6.4 Compacting the concrete 6.4.1 Genera
33、l The concrete shall be compacted immediately after placing in the moulds in such a way as to produce full compaction of the concrete with neither excessive segregation nor laitance. Each layer shall be compacted by using one of the methods described in 6.4.2 or 6.4.3. In the case of self-compacting
34、 concrete, no mechanical or hand compaction shall be applied during filling or after the container is filled. NOTE 1 Full compaction is achieved using mechanical vibration, when there is no further appearance of large air bubbles on the surface of the concrete and the surface becomes relatively smoo
35、th with a glazed appearance, without excessive segregation. NOTE 2 Further guidance on methods of compaction for concretes having different consistencies or cast in different sizes of containers, may be given in national annex NA. 6.4.2 Mechanical compaction 6.4.2.1 Compacting with internal vibrator
36、 Apply the vibration for the minimum duration necessary to achieve full compaction of the concrete. Avoid over-vibration, which may cause loss of entrained air. NOTE Care should be taken not to damage the container. The use of a filling frame is recommended. Ensure that the vibrator is kept vertical
37、 and not allowed to touch the bottom or sides of the container. Laboratory tests have shown that great care is needed if loss of entrained air is to be avoided, when using an internal vibrator. 6.4.2.2 Compacting with vibrating table Apply the vibration for the minimum duration necessary to achieve
38、full compaction of the concrete. The container should preferably be attached to, or firmly held against the table. Avoid over-vibration, which may cause loss of entrained air. 6.4.3 Compacting by hand with compacting rod or bar Distribute the strokes of the compacting rod, or bar, in a uniform manne
39、r over the cross-section of the container. Ensure that the compacting rod, or bar, does not forcibly strike the bottom of the container when compacting the first layer, nor penetrate significantly any previous layer. Subject the concrete to a sufficient number of strokes per layer, typically 25 for
40、concretes having a consistence equivalent to slump classes S1 and S2, in order to remove pockets of entrapped air but not the entrained air. After compaction of each layer, tap the sides of the container smartly with the mallet until large bubbles of air cease to appear on the surface and depression
41、s left by the compacting rod or bar, are removed. 6.5 Surface levelling If a filling frame is used, remove it immediately after compaction. After the top layer has been compacted, smooth it level with the top of the container, using the steel float or trowel. Skim the surface and rim with the straig
42、htedge and wipe the outside of the container clean. 6.6 Weighing Weigh the container with its contents to determine its mass (m2) and record the value indicated. BS EN 12350-6:2009EN 12350-6:2009 (E) 8 7 Calculation of density The density is calculated from the formula: 21mmDV= where D is the densit
43、y of the fresh concrete, in kg/m; m1is the mass of the empty container, in kg; m2is the mass of the container completely filled with compacted concrete, in kg; V is the volume of the container, in m. Express the density of the fresh concrete to the nearest 10 kg/m3. 8 Test report The report shall in
44、clude: a) identification of the test sample; b) location of performance of test; c) date of test; d) method of compaction; e) calculated density of the fresh concrete, in kg/m; f) any deviation from standard test method; g) declaration by the person technically responsible for the test that it was c
45、arried out in accordance with this document, except as noted item f). The report may include: h) temperature of the concrete sample at time of test; i) time of test; j) consistence of the concrete. 9 Precision Precision data are given in Table 1. These apply to density measurements made on concrete
46、taken from the same sample and compacted by hand using a compacting bar when each test result represents a single density determination.
